If a problem occurs with the camera, first refer to this Troubleshooting 
Guide. If this Troubleshooting Guide does not resolve the problem, 
contact your dealer or nearest Canon Service Center.
 If the battery’s remaining capacity (p .338) is 94% or higher, the battery 
will not be recharged.
 
Do not recharge any batte ry pack other than genuine Canon Batt ery Pack LP-E6.
 If there is a problem with the battery charger or battery pack or if 
communication with the battery pack (non-Canon battery packs) is not 
possible, the protective circuit will  terminate the charging and the orange 
lamp will blink quickly at a regular inte rval. If there is a problem with the 
battery charger or battery pack, unplug  the charger’s power plug from the 
power outlet. Detach and reattach the bat tery pack to the charger. Wait 2 
to 3 minutes, then reconnect the power  plug to the power outlet. If the 
problem persists, contact your deal er or nearest Canon Service Center.
 If the internal temperature of the batte ry pack attached to the charger is 
high, the charger will not charge the ba ttery for safety reasons (lamp off). 
During the charging, if the battery ’s temperature becomes high for any 
reason, the charging will stop automatically (lamp blinks). When the 
battery temperature goes down, the  charging will resume automatically.
 The battery is not properly installed in the camera (p.30).
  Make sure the battery compar tment cover is closed (p.30).
  Make sure the card slot cover is closed (p.31).
  Recharge the battery (p.28).

Troubleshooting Guide
 If the power is turned off while an image is being recorded to the card, 
the access lamp will remain on/con tinue to blink for a few seconds. 
When the image recording is comple ted, the power will turn off 
automatically.
  Use a fully-charged battery pack (p.28).
  The battery performance may have degraded. See [ 53: Battery info.] 
to check the battery’s recharge  performance level (p.338). If the 
battery performance is poor, replace the battery pack with a new one.
  The number of possible shots will decrease with any of the following 
operations:
• Pressing the shutter button hal fway for a prolonged period.
• Often activating only the AF  without taking a picture.
• Using the lens’ Image Stabilizer.
• Using the LCD monitor often.
• Continuing Live View shooting or  movie shooting for a prolonged 
period.
  Auto power off is in effect. If you  do not want auto power off to take 
effect, set [ 52: Auto power off ] to [Disable ] (p.55).
  Even if [ 52: Auto power off ] is set to [Disable], the LCD monitor will 
still turn off after the camera is le ft idle for 30 min. (The camera’s 
power does not turn off.)
The access lamp still blinks even when the power switch is 
set to < 2>.
The battery becomes exhausted quickly.
The camera turns off by itself.
